the_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v man_n see_v what_o be_v the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o mystery_n make_v man_n see_v be_v the_o very_a first_o work_n upon_o a_o soul_n from_o

this_o way_n thus_o now_o i_o have_v hint_v a_o little_a at_o the_o way_n that_o god_n do_v take_v to_o call_v home_o his_o election_n i_o will_v now_o a_o little_a show_n you_o how_o god_n do_v in_o
